It appears to me based on the info. in your post that the new plugs are
causing the problem. I suggest that you remove them and throw them in a
trash can and replace them with the same brand and type of plugs that were
in it before. If you don't know the brand or type--buy them from the parts
desk at the local Honda Dealership. Make sure you tell the person at the
parts desk that you want the same type of plugs that are installed in new
CRVs.
